About Pacific Palisades

Pacific Palisades offers a unique blend of coastal accessibility and village community charm, situated on the bluffs between Santa Monica and Malibu with the Santa Monica Mountains as a dramatic backdrop. This family-oriented enclave features a walkable village center along Sunset Boulevard, excellent schools, and easy access to Will Rogers State Beach. The community maintains a distinct identity separate from its famous neighbors, with local events, farmers markets, and a tight-knit residential feel.

The Pacific Palisades condo market serves buyers seeking the coastal lifestyle without Malibu's isolation or Santa Monica's urban density. While predominantly single-family homes, select condo developments offer opportunities in this desirable community. Units near the village center provide walkable access to restaurants, shops, and services, while properties along the bluffs may offer ocean views and proximity to beach access points.

Pacific Palisades consistently ranks among LA's most desirable family communities, with the Palisades Charter Schools complex providing excellent public education options. The Getty Villa museum, Temescal Gateway Park, and numerous hiking trails offer abundant recreational opportunities. While prices reflect the premium location, the combination of beach access, mountain recreation, and community atmosphere makes Pacific Palisades uniquely appealing.
